Thanks very much for your replies, its given me some useful information
on devices.

How serious is this? I haven't heard of too many. This would then
become an issue of the carrier security correct?

I assume then, that the encapsulation of a private channel through a
backbone is brought into question? I really wouldn't think to put this
kind of traffic through IPSec due to the overhead.

Other than that, I guess the theories for firewalling are the same
whether it be 100Mb or 10Gb - the device just needs to handle it.

Cheers.
